Instead of adding an `if` to check for values that become the new max, simply use `fmax` to get the maximum and update the value. This improves readability. It may improve performance as `fmax` can be a single assembly instruction. Though most compilers can probably figure this out anyways.

Was wondering that too, but found Cython translate it into a comparison like the one written. For example, Cython takes this function... cpdef float my_max(float a, float b) nogil:
return max(a, b)...and turns the __pyx_t_1 = __pyx_v_b;
__pyx_t_2 = __pyx_v_a;
if (((__pyx_t_1 > __pyx_t_2) != 0)) {
__pyx_t_3 = __pyx_t_1;
} else {
__pyx_t_3 = __pyx_t_2;
}
__pyx_r = __pyx_t_3;(There's of course more C code that Cython generates that has been snipped for clarity.) |

Have you submitted a PR to cython, then??

Nope. I can understand why they would want We could ask them about special casing |
|
Well, that's what I meant: they should be able to check statically if they
have a pair of floats. Would C compilers never optimise this case?

Instead of adding an `if` to check for values that become the new max, simply use `fmax` to get the maximum and update the value. This improves readability. It may improve performance as `fmax` can be a single assembly instruction. Though most compilers can probably figure this out anyways.
